To/CC Fields do not allow local email addresses w/o machine name

Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 1.0.8 Synopsis: To/CC Fields do not allow local email addresses w/o machine name Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: If I want to send email to another user on my local machine (or to an alias on my local machine), evolution doesn't allow me to do this. Netscape doesn't either (which is a bug), but most other mailers allow me to do this. So sending email to 'john' is bad, but 'john@localhost' is okay. I'd like to be able to just do 'john'. Why? One reason is at work, we have local aliases on our machines to send mail to anyone in the lab just like they were a local user, makes sending email that much quicker ;-) Another reason, is if I want to send mail to another account (for example to make it easy to move to my PC), I'd like to use my local alias. True, you can get aruond it by doing alias@machine, but it'd be nice to just use alias. That's yet another of my favorite reasons to stick with VM & Xemacs (for mail at least, I think the calendar/pilot synching is much nicer with evolution!) Unknown reporter: tillemaj@attbi.com, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Works in 1.1.0.99 and won't be backported to 1.0.x *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 210960 ***
